A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-016 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the     pnmscanner_gettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer     due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially     resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-58380)
